Changes in the heirarchy at McGraw-Hill’s flagship station will make Denver the headquarters for the chain’s broadcast division and return a member of the investigative team to the station in a management position.

Jeff Harris, who served as special-projects executive producer at KMGH-Channel 7 for four years, today was named news director of the station. In that role, he also will oversee Azteca America Colorado, the Spanish-language affiliates in Denver and Colorado Springs.

It was Harris who helped steer the Channel 7 investigative team to national notice, including winning the duPont-Columbia Award and a George Foster Peabody Award.

“It’s all rooted in content,” Harris said. “Even though we’re seeing such an alarming demise in both broadcast and print news, in fact, news consumption is rising rapidly. It’s our job to be competitive in that arena.”

While the emphasis is on immediacy, he noted: “We also have the journalists to do enterprise reporting.”

Harris said of KMGH, “This is an investigative station. We have one of the nation’s premiere local TV investigative units. They make up a vital component of our duty to our community,” no less important than breaking news and weather.”

Harris left Denver in 2004 to take the same position at KPIX-TV in San Francisco. This March, his position in San Francisco was one of 14 sacrificed to cost-cutting at the CBS-owned station.

Byron Grandy, Channel 7 news director for eight years, was promoted to KMGH station manager in July.

Darrell Brown, vice president and general manager, was named president of McGraw-Hill Broadcasting, also in July. Brown succeeded Edward Quinn, who retired after a 22-year career at McGraw-Hill Broadcasting.

The McGraw-Hill broadcast group is composed of four ABC-affiliate stations, including KGTV in San Diego, WRTV in Indianapolis and KERO in Bakersfield, Calif.; three Spanish-language Azteca America affiliates; and the stations’ websites, including TheDenverChannel.com.
